What
are you doing right now?
I am trying to do a bunch of graphics up (snowboards) that
touch on some good social commentary and strike thoughts into
the heads of intelligent snowboarders. I don’t think
that the masses will be complacent with one letter slanted
logos for much longer. Do you think that our industry is maturing,
and threrefore ready for something like this? I always loved
Matt Donahue’s movement, but it was way ahead of its
time.
Sponsors?
Joyride, Da Kine, Scott goggles, and Trilogy clothing.
What
is the best Prince album?
Honestly, I don’t know the best album, but I request
anything at a wedding dance.
Do
you drink coffee?
Yup, then I run to the bathroom.
Why
do you snowboard?
It makes me feel like a man.
What
does riding a board around snow covered mountains mean to
you?
Freedom of expression and makes me appreciate how blessed
I am.
Do
you skateboard?
No, I roll my ankles looking at one.
Who
is your favorite band?
Jets to Brazil
Are
you religious?
Yes, I believe that the Bible is truth.
Who,
besides you, kicks ass?
George Bush (differently), Lukas and Jesse Huffman, Jon Cartwright,
Ben Davies, Mike Page, Justin and Maegan and our sushi chef
Terry.

How
long have you been skating?
12 years.
You
are an am right now, do you plan on becoming pro?
It would be nice and everything, not to have to worry about
having a real job. But as long as I can skate and keep my
body in good health and keep skating, that’s all I’m
really worried about. If you get thrown some love along the
way to help pay the bills, that’s cool.
What’s
the perfect day for you?
Wake up, not alone. Early morning surf, go home and eat some
good food. Where I’m from it’s too damn hot to skate
during the day so I’m a night skater, around 7 or 7:30
pm we’ll start to skate the park.
You’re
from Jacksonville, Florida?
No, I’m from St. Mary’s, Georgia which is just across
the border in Georgia. I’m only 40 minutes from Jacksonville
so I’ve pretty much grown up skating in Jacks.
What’s
is your favorite beer?
That one goes weekly. Whatever everyone else is drinking.
Hopefully not Pabst, but I’ll drink some Old Milwaukee
on occasion. I’ll say Budweiser.
Where
would you like to skate right now that you can’t skate
anymore?
The Turf. It’s in the midwest somewhere. I saw it in
an old Santa Cruz video. I heard they closed it down and now
it’s a strip club.
I
guess we’ll wrap this up with the million-dollar question.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Go straight to Marseille and build my own little paradise
and invite all my friends over to live and have one session
vacation forever. It’s all about having fun.
